This chapter is set during the Animorph universe. It is right after Tobias gets his morphing ability back. There is a small connection to Hoenn because of a relation to small thing. Brock doesn't go head over heels in a couple chapters, but he will. So sit back, read and enjoy this chapter. And I don't own Animorphs because K.A Applegate does. (If I did, I would be a millionaire.)

Chapter 3

Only Dittos can morph!!!!!!!!

Misty and Brock woke up in a second. They looked around to see where they were. This wasn't Pallet Town. They didn't think they were in the same universe so they could be anywhere. Togepi was still in Misty's arms. They looked around and saw buildings. One of them looked like a mall. Both of them got up and wandered around. Groups of teens walked past the mall and headed past them. They were talking about a marine amusement park. Both Misty and Brock turned around to see what these were talking about. It was an amusement park but it was also a zoo.

"What do you say, Brock? Should we check this place out?" Misty asked.

"I think so. Good thing I have American money." Brock said.

"American Money? We are in America?" Misty asked confusingly.

"Yeah, it took some time to add it up but we are in America. Where we are in America is the part I am trying to figure out." Brock said.

Both of them nodded to each other and headed towards where the group of teens were heading. They noticed a roller coaster and immediately thought that it was some sort of amusement park. They thought these teenagers didn't know what they were talking about. They got closer and found out that it was a zoo/amusement park. One of the posters on a wall showed a killer whale. It was only here for a couple weeks. Misty hid Togepi in her backpack. She didn't want anybody to find about Togepi. Something that strange might attract attention. They got up to the entrance. There was a booth right in front of the entrance with a women sitting in there.

"How much does it cost to visit this attraction?" Brock asked the woman.

"Well, since it is a weekday, it is usually 3 dollars a piece depending on the amount of people." The lady said.

Brock took out six dollars and handed it to the lady. He didn't have the time to fall in love. He had to figure out where they were in America and what they were doing there. Then he could start swooning over ladies. They entered the zoo area. There was a sign telling where they could go to see many animals. They needed to find somewhere or someone to tell where they were.

"I'd like to see this killer whale. Maybe it is like Kyorge, the legendary whale of our world." Misty said to Brock.

"You are always fascinated with anything dealing with water. I keep forgetting that about you, Misty!!!" Brock said.

They headed for the area with the killer whale. There wasn't a big crowd. Maybe the weekdays were slower than the weekends. There were a group of teens already there. They were talking to a lady. She must train this Killer Whale, Misty thought. Brock was noticing how healthy it was. As a pokemon breeder, he would expect any animal to stay in top health.

"So what can you tell us about this fish?" One of them asked.

"Marco, it is a mammal, a whale, a dolphin!!" One of them slapped the boy who asked the question.

"Rachel, I am surprised you knew that!!! Oh, I have to go to the bathroom!!!"

"Tobias, go behind the bushes. People don't want to see what you are doing!!!" said another one of the teens.

This confused both Misty and Brock. Why couldn't this Tobias dude go to the bathroom? Something suspicious was going on. They decided to go over and introduce themselves. Misty and Brock stopped at the group of teens. Misty pretended to admire this killer whale. She has been a fan of water pokemon but this killer whale was just perfect. Too bad it wasn't a pokemon or she could capture it.

"Hey, my name is Brock. Might I ask what your names are?" Brock asked the group.

Rachel heisted for a moment. Were these teens part of the Yeerk invasion or were they just normal teens? She looked over to Jake. Jake was too busy talking to the Orca trainer. She was a friend of Cassie's mom. She thought maybe an Orca morph might help them in any future missions that involved water. She focused on the teen named Brock. He wasn't actually a teen but more of an adult.

"My name is Rachel. The dofus near me is Marco. The one talking to that lady is Jake. The girl next to me is my best friend Cassie. The one who ran off is Tobias!!"

"My name is Misty. Where are we in America?" Misty asked.

Rachel looked at Misty strangely. She must be a Yeerk because she was acting strangely. She didn't know where she was. Maybe they could bring them to Ax and he would deal with them. She turned towards Jake and the lady. The lady nodded to Jake like she was in agreement with him. She turned back to the girl named Misty. Now that was a strange name but Ax's full name was stranger.

"Well, we are on either on the east or west coast of America. I really could never tell." Rachel replied.

Well, that helped out a little bit, Misty thought. She heard a noise rushed bush and there was that Tobias dude again. He didn't take very long though there were pieces of rat's tail coming out his mouth. Misty wondered why Tobias would do a thing like that. Rachel must have noticed this because she was dragging him away from Misty and Brock.

"Tobias, have you been eating rats again?" Rachel said angrily.

"Yes, I did but I was hungry. What is the problem?" Tobias said to Rachel.

"Okay, having rat's tails in your mouth is kind of suspicious to others but not to Yeerks." Rachel said.

"Yeerks? Where?" Tobias said turning his head around.

"Those two people. I think they are Yeerks. Something about them makes me feel that way." Rachel said.

"Rachel, now don't go jumping to conclusions." Tobias replied.

"Maybe we can take them to Ax. Maybe he will know what to do with them." Rachel said.

Brock and Misty were listening to the conversation between Tobias and Rachel. They knew they shouldn't eavesdrop but they wanted to know why Tobias was dragged off. Yeerks? Ax? Both of them didn't know what Rachel was talking about but they were getting suspicious. Misty turned towards the killer whale. Brock turned to the girl that Rachel mentioned.

"So, do you come here often?" Brock asked.

"Of course, I do because my mother works here. That lady is a friend of my mom. What do you think of this creature?" Cassie asked.

"It is an impressive creature. I have never seen anything like it before." Brock said.

Now that caused Cassie to nod but she got suspicious. Humans knew about killer whales for a long time and only Yeerks would not know about them. She knew that there was something strange about these two. She nodded towards Marco and he nodded towards Jake. Then Marco turned to Cassie and said, "What am I nodding about?"

"You are agreeing with me about those two being Yeerks, right?" She said quietly.

"Those two are Yeerks? I might not be a genius but they don't seem that suspicious, Cassie." Marco said quietly.

"I want Ax to see them. We will take them to my barn after we acquire the DNA from this killer whale." Cassie said.

"So we should tell Jake about this. He is our leader." Marco said.

"You are being loud. They might hear us." Cassie warned Marco.

"You were too just a second ago. Don't worry, I doubt they heard anything at all."

The group converged together. Jake had convinced the lady that they could touch the killer whale. She said that she was going to get some food and she would be back in a while. Jake went up the ladder to the top of the tank. He gestured his hand for the whale to come. It came up to the surface and he put his hand on it. He focused himself to absorb the data. Meanwhile, Misty and Brock were watching this. They didn't know what was going on but it was suspicious. The whale seemed to faint for a couple of seconds. Jake nodded for the others to continue on with this ritual.

"Wasn't that fun? It got me wet." Marco said.

"Well, you were splashing around. You should have just acquired the data." Rachel said.

"But I wanted to have fun." Marco said.

"Okay, we will take those two to see Ax. Rachel, you escort them to the barn. We don't know what those two Yeerks are up to."

Misty and Brock were told they were heading towards a barn. They followed Rachel and the rest of the group followed behind. Rachel was looking at them like they were enemies. They understood why but part of it was confusing. This kids thought they were these Yeerks. They were taking them to a person or thing named Ax. Cassie and Marco were talking about acquiring DNA. They didn't know what it meant but they found out when Tobias saw a rat.

"I must eat rat!!!" He said as he charged down the forest lawn once he saw a juicy rat.

Then he started to change. His hands started to form into wings. His mouth was forming into a beak. Even his legs were changing. Both Misty and Brock were surprised by this strange encounter. They knew Dittos could morph but they never knew that humans could morph. They kept on saying in the heads 'Only Dittos could morph!! Only Dittos can morph!!' They stopped and saw Tobias was back to normal. Rachel was not very happy.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you just did? What if those two were Yeerks? They would recognize that as part of the Andalite technology and they would call for reinforcements. Our lives would be over as we know it." Rachel said angrily.

Misty and Brock caught all of this but they decided to pretend that none of that happened. They kept on putting their hands over their head. Cassie looked at those two and knew that they must be hallucinating. Cassie prodded Rachel and Rachel turned around and saw the two teenagers. She sighed because maybe they didn't catch any of this. Though she was angry with Tobias, they continued on.

"We are almost there. Are you two okay?" Cassie asked Misty and Brock.

"We must have stared at the sun too long. We thought we saw a human turn into a pid .. "Misty started talking but Brock interrupted her.

"Pidgeon. That's what she thought we saw. We must be mistaken." Brock said.

Cassie nodded but she wondered what Misty was about to say. It was Pigeon but something else. She ignored that. They had arrived at the barn. It was an old fashioned barn. Misty thought they were in the country even though it seemed like there were in a big city. The barn was looked like it was hundred years old. She looked at Brock. She understood why he shut her up. She was about to say Pidgey, or Pidgeotto or Pidgeot. Then they would look at her like she was crazy, although they were doing it a couple of time already. Both Brock and Misty headed towards the barn not realizing what was going on. They would be encountering something that was beyond their levels of reality. They stopped to nod and headed inside the barn.
